You can blame your mother for being a slut and your father for being a drunk

Whether your roommate is Samantha Sleeps-Around or Paul the Prude, cut him or her some slack: People's predilections for promiscuity lie partially in their DNA, according to a new study. A particular version of a dopamine receptor gene called DRD4 is linked to people's tendency toward both infidelity and uncommitted one-night stands, the researchers reported Nov. 30 in the online open-access journal PloS One. The same gene has already been linked to alcoholism and gambling addiction, as well as less destructive thrills like a love of horror films. One study linked the gene to an openness to new social situations, which in turn correlated with political liberalism. In the new study, researchers gathered a detailed history of sexual behavior and relationships from 181 young adults. They also collected DNA samples from the volunteers' cheeks and analyzed the samples for the presence of the thrill-seeking version of DRD4. "What we found was that individuals with a certain variant of the DRD4 gene were more likely to have a history of uncommitted sex, including one-night stands and acts of infidelity," study researcher Justin Garcia, a postdoctoral fellow at Binghamton University, State University of New York, said in a statement. "The motivation seems to stem from a system of pleasure and reward, which is where the release of dopamine comes in," Garcia said. "In cases of uncommitted sex, the risks are high, the rewards substantial and the motivation variable —all elements that ensure a
dopamine 'rush.'" People with the thrill-seeking gene variant were about twice as likely treport a history of one-night stands as those without the gene variant. Half of those with a love of risk imprinted in their DNA reported committing infidelity in the past, compared with 22 percent of those without the variant. "The study doesn't let transgressors off the hook," said Garcia. "These relationships are associative, which means that not everyone with this genotype will have one-night stands or commit infidelity. Indeed, many people without this genotype still have one-night stands and commit infidelity. The study merely suggests that a much higher proportion of those with this genetic type are likely to engage in these behaviors."

makes perfect sense when you combine genetic predispositions along with children modeling after the parent or simply a lack of instruction. children raised with a lack of self-discipline lead very "id" based lifes in general.

Great. More information out there for people to abuse and forgo responsibility for themselves.

It's in my DNA, I can't help it!

I should have known Mom was a slut when they bought the fondue set and had the nieghbors over.

This is like saying smokers are twice as likely to have an addictive behavior gene.

Thanks mom for being a slut.

Oh, and thank you dad for being a drunk.

Cause, that leaves me with the best of both worlds!

Pretty interesting stuff. It wasn't long ago, that researchers where able to pinpoint psychopathic tendencies in a person's genome. Later they were able to detect and predict with a fairly high accuracy what people had genetic psychopathic tendencies just by using brain imaging. It won't be long, and nearly all psychological traits will be isolated in our genome. With a little luck, they can turn off the gene expression for the leftover shit from evolution that we don't need.

I'm sure you do, but it is everybody else that suffers.

this is the liberal telling the conservative?

Still no cure for cancer.

no money in curing it. we make more money injecting poisons and delivering radiation to the body than if we cured it. honestly cancer patients go through way more torture than anything the middle ages came up with

No. My statement had nothing to do with politics, nor was it a personal jab. Everyone has a habit or two that serves no purpose other than to reward that person for doing it. Some of those habits or harmless, but most of them cause tremendous amounts of suffering to themselves and the people around them.

This post could get really long, so I'll leave it at that.

Ninja Edit: Also, if you faggots don't stop calling me a liberal just because I'm not a conservative, I am going to find out where you live and burn your house down with you in it.

Relax bro. In all honesty I was only throwing a light tease out there. I don't consider you a liberal other than you are more towards the left than I. I like the ninja edit threat though. Pretty good one.

My brand of dark human really doesn't translate over the internet for well.

Kelju and bio- chem, you two cats are deeper than I ever pretend to be.

The only time Myself & Kelju are liberal, is when we twist up a J out of the new huge sack of Kush we had just purchased!
